About the NASA Reduced Gravity Research Program

The NASA Reduced Gravity Program operated by NASA
Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, provides
the unique "weightless" or "zero-g" environment of space flight for
test and training purposes on a cost-reimbursable funding basis.
With the coming of age of the Space Transportation System and
the current plans for the Space Station, this capability is
ideal for the development and verification of space hardware, experiments,
crew training and it is also ideal for doing basic research.
